Good news for LSU fans as the football program looks like it’ll pry away a good coach/recruiter from the Florida Gators.  Read more on Dandy Don!

I think I am finally getting over the LSU loss to Florida.  As I walked away from the stadium this past Saturday I really couldn’t understand how we had so much problem on the offensive side of the football.  But, it has taken me a few days to grips with the fact that we held the best team in the nation to a season low thirteen points and still did not score.  If there is a good thing from the game, it’d be the fact that our Defense showed up to play and held Tebow in check in the red zone. 

If you would’ve told me we would hold that Florida team to thirteen points, I’d tell you we’d win the game 10 times out of 10.  It’s really upsetting to think we could not score more than three points in the entire game.  Our offense better get their crap together if we want to run the table and face Florida again.  If not we might lose to Auburn & Alabama at this rate…

Hats off to Tebow and Florida for a good game.

Remember, we won a National Championship after losing to Florida in the regular season so it’s not over just yet!

It looks like Tebow’s health will be assessed after the team flight and remains a game time decision, and I sure hope he plays.  You heard me right LSU fans, I hope he plays.  If we beat Florida on Saturday I want to do it with their star player, clark kent wannabee behind center.  I don’t want the fact we beat them to be overshadowed by the fact he was not playing. 

If a team builds their entire franchise around one player they run the risk of ending up in this type of situation.  On the flip side, LSU has beaten Tebow before in this same type of situation so don’t forget that!  Should be a great game, I know I’ll have a great seat!

Thanks Eric for the Image.

This season cannot end quick enough for the Bayou Bengal Faithful.  You might say I’m putting the cart before the horse with the Arkansas game looming after Turkey day, but if you think a win on Friday will leave a good taste in your mouth than you must be gnawing on Thursday’s leftovers.  This season was very tough on the boys in purple and gold, but what more did you expect after hearing we would have to start Freshmen quarterbacks with no SEC game experience.  This is the toughest conference in college football, and anyone who argues that really needs to quiet down.  To start freshman against teams like Florida, Georgia & Alabama this year was asking a lot of a 19 year old.  Jarrett Lee did not help the situation with all of the pick-sixes he’s thrown, but our defense has not looked that great either.  Neither has our ‘all-american offensive line’.  Who couldn’t open holes for Charles Scott on Saturday when Ole Miss populated the line with 6 players. 

The worst part of all of this are the LSU fans that are so spolied with the LSU system for the past few years.  These bandwagon fans who have only tuned in since the 2003 season need to calm down.  Especially the ones who constantly call for Les Miles to get fired.  Did we not win a National Championship last year with this man at the helm?  Do you people even think before you speak?

Since there is nothing that I can do, I’m just holding out for next season.  Maybe during the off-season our team can watch a lot of film and figure out what went wrong on both sides of the ball during the 2008 season.

GL Friday Tigers… I’ll be watching…

Was a tough weekend if you are an LSU Football Fan, and it was a good weekend if you are a New Orleans Saints fan. 

The Tigers had another defensive fallout against an SEC school by letting the Georgia Bulldogs put 52 on the board in their defeat Saturday night in Death Valley.  That makes 103 total points allowed by the Tigers this year between Georgia and Florida.  Jarrett Lee once again made poor decisions, maybe he would do better if all of the recievers had cups of beer on their heads and he could toss ping pong balls.  I have not seen poor decisions like these since Josh Booty, and we all know how that debacle played out. 

The defensive secondary of the Tigers makes the Saints secondary look good, as Georgia (and Florida) completed long third downs, impossible silly pass routes, and wide open air grabs.  This team has a lot of work to do before Tulane, because the way they are playing now I’d be hard pressed to say Tulane won’t throw a couple of TD’s over them.  And I do not even want to start thinking about Nick Satan and the Alabama Crimson Flow yet…

On Sunday the Saints managed to outrace the San Diego Chargers in Wembley stadium (as a home game once again).  Let’s just kiss the ground that Drew Brees walks on right now, because without him the Saints would be sunk.  And after all this illegal substance stuff clears, we could be without three important players…
